The Bruins have signed forward Jordan Caron to a one-year, one-way contract worth $600,000 contract, according to multiple reports. The deal was first reported by TVA Sports.

Caron, 23, was the team’s 13th forward last season, playing in 35 games and scoring one goal and two assists. He also played in seven playoff games with one goal.

With Caron’s contract on the books, the Bruins now have $3.818 million left in cap space. Remaining tasks this summer include re-signing entry-level free agents Torey Krug and Reilly Smith.

After ultimately offering Caron a qualifying offer shortly before the June 30 deadline, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli has sought to move the 2009 first-round pick. With Caron’s development coming along slowly the past two years and several forwards (Alexander Khokhlachev, Ryan Spooner, Matt Fraser, Justin Florek, Matt Lindblad, David Pastrnak) ready to jump onto the scene, Chiarelli has sought to part ways with the 23-year-old and find a team that can offer him more ice time.

“I think [Caron] can be a full-time player,” Chiarelli said July 1. “You know, I’ve gotten a couple calls from him today and I have talked to him about this. It may be that it is time for him to get a chance with another team. So I do believe he can be a full-time player. As I said at the draft, I’ve talked to a few teams about him and Jordan wants to stay in Boston but he would welcome another opportunity also. So I will continue to explore those.”

A new contract doesn’t ensure Caron will remain in Boston when the season opens. By signing him to a minimum contract — actually $40,000 less than what he made last season and over $100,000 lower than the qualifying offer — another team could be swayed into picking up the defensively sound wing on the cheap.
